All events will be held live online through NSDA Campus. Entries from any state are welcome! Just be sure to check any time zone differences.

Please note the following entry restrictions. Students may double enter in any two individual events, with the exception of LD and PF. Those students entering Congress may only enter in that event. It is the student’s responsibility to make it to rounds on time.

Half or partial judges are not allowed. The names of the judges provided must judge their assigned rounds.
